Learn Bhasa

Don't have any recommendations for real life teachers. But I just started using livemocha.com this week and I must say I'm quite impressed with how well it works.

You are expected to help other people with your native language and others do the same with you. There are a lot of Indonesian people on there that are very helpful, you might even be able to hook up with someone who's actually in Jakarta.

Hope this helps!

ciao

I am going to learn Bahasa as well and I was recommended the School of Language, but I have not got around to starting myself. They do private as well as class lessons but I am not sure what days the classes are on. The number is 021 6888 8246 and email is sibschool@sibschool.com.

I think having Indonesian friends is a fun and best way to learn English efectively

make contact with the local and your Bahasa will be improve, that's fun way.

why do you want to learn bahasa?

Like anna said, make friends with local citizen. You may learn slang words too lol

I can't argue with that.
I hardly know any bule here and have made almost no effort to find any. Getting to know the locals helps you integrate into Indonesian life at a far faster rate.

Try to call University of Indonesia, they have program "BIPA" for foreigner that wanna learn bahasa indonesia. Start in January - May and August - December.

For start it , i recomend, livemocha.com too selamat belajar bahasa.

Hi Anant,
Just suggest, that you must be patient, because bahasa has many synonym, so like other languages, we have to practises more so that we can chose suitable words to express what will you want to do, politely of course.

enjoy learning bahasa...

I studied at Atma Jaya University (located on Sudirman street, next to Plaza Semanggi or in front of Aston Apartement). There're some expats who took bahasa class here, and i know some of them. If you want a further info, just PM me
And, just a suggest, it will be improved if you have some indonesian friend so you can practice it all the time.


cheers!

I'm really going to have to get round to a real course or even a language swap.
I can manage a simple conversation, directions, shopping and so on but I need more vocab (Yes - I've been too lazy to learn) and the ins and outs of the ter, bers and so on.
Ideas in the BSD area would be handy.
